Ingredients

  • 1 russet potato diced
  • 3 tablespoon olive oil divided
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 pieces thick sliced bacon sliced into ½-inch pieces
  • ½ shallot minced
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 medium to large head frisee lettuce cleaned and torn into bite-sized pieces

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees, then line two sheet pans with parchment paper.
  • Toss the potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper, then arrange on one sheet pan.
  • Place the bacon pieces on the other sheet pan, then place both in the oven.
  • Cook bacon until crisp, about 10-15 minutes, then remove from the pan and drain on paper towels. Reserve 2 tablespoons of bacon fat.
  • Cook the potatoes, tossing once or twice about halfway through, until golden and crisp, about 20-25 minutes.
  • Place a wide pot of water on the stove and bring up to a simmer.
  • Add minced shallots, Dijon mustard and white wine vinegar to a small bowl or jar and whisk to combine.
  • Season with salt and pepper, then slowly whisk in remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and reserved bacon fat until emulsified.
  • Taste for seasoning and adjust as needed.
  • Crack one egg into a small dish, then use a large spoon to create a whirlpool in the simmering water.
  • Carefully slide the egg into the center and use the back of the spoon to keep the whites together as much as possible.
  • Repeat with the remaining egg. Cook for approximately 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
  • Remove with a slotted spoon, then drain very well on a towel.
  • Add the frisee lettuce to a large bowl, then toss with vinaigrette until fully coated.
  • Divide between two plates, then top each with potatoes and bacon, then place the poached eggs on top.
  • Season with more salt and pepper, then serve immediately.
